Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 1475
Gene name Cystatin A
Gene symbol CSTA
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
AREIPSS4STF1STFA
Chromosome 3
Chromosome location 3q21.1
Summary The cystatin superfamily encompasses proteins that contain multiple cystatin-like sequences. Some of the members are active cysteine protease inhibitors, while others have lost or perhaps never acquired this inhibitory activity. There are three inhibitory
